After spending a huge amount of time trying to get a working android to boot on the athena I am thinking that maybe if enough people are interested in donating we can get some devs interested in helping us.
Initially I would like to get android 2.0 to work, my thinking is to firstly get people to commit to donate to getting android to boot.
The other option is to get enough together to buy a 2nd hand athena to donate to a dev to work on.
Please post here if you wish to donate to the project and how much you are willing to pledge.
Devs: PM me for details of the relevant git etc if you are interested in this.
Donation list:
Avengerpenguin £20
UniversalCitizen £20
Definitely!
Hey I just made another donation - as drewid - and I am excited that you are talking about this and working on it. Thank you!
I saw your twitter post a little while back and was wondering if you had finally got a working build tested after losing your adapter? I am so psyched for Android but I know it will be a while still.
I am going back to the drawing board this evening to test more WM ROMS since my current one and the last 4 before it have not seemed stable. I feel like I am nearing the end of my patience for Windows Mobile at this point, but I like the device. I have to get it stable and with enough features to keep on using it.
If you don't mind me asking, do you still like WM? If you had to recommend a best ROM to use on my 7501 which one would YOU recommend? I just want reasonable speed and good web browsing, stability. I can add SPB Mobile shell again for pizazz since I bought it a while back but it doesn't always seem stable on recent ROMS.
Thank you again for working so hard on this and all your ROMS work! I wish I knew development so I could help out more.

Ive got a new adaptor and feel that I am getting close to compiling a working 2.6.31 kernel for the athena, but am trying to learn linux at the same time, making my progress slow.
Yes I still like windows mobile, its just that with lennie now cooking as well I decided to spend my time trying to get android to work after running on my blackstone. My thinking for me as my athena is a second device that with android I could almost have the equivilent of a dell/archos android tablet without any outlay.
To be honest I havent flashed any new roms to my athena for a while and am still using my last release.
Hopefully there will be plenty of time to help once we get to a working build and there will be a lot of testing etc to do
Just donated to the cause
Hello Avengerpenguin,
Just made a donation from an email address beginning with 'wide' and ending with '.com' would of made it sooner but was waiting for payday.
Lets hope we can get a working version sometime soon or I might have to go crazy and get the HTC Desire when it arrives. (if it's not got the same issues as it's Nexus sibling that is)

Many thanks for the donation, I have had confirmation of the donation and will keep it in the kitty for the android dev, I like you really hope for a working android either by my doing or from someone else, unfortunately work has dictated that my android work in on the back burner for probably another week or so, but will get back to it as soon as I can
I will probably get a htc desire in april when released on orange to use for work, looks like a great device.
I am willing to test!
If you need a tester, I would like to do so.
I have an X7510 which I only use for music, and that even only in imergency if my MP3 playe is out of power!
Continued development of meizu m9 rom is in progress watch this space for updates I'm from desire HD forums but have a nexus one at hand, first thing we need to do is fix wifi.
half way there with Wifi
Then we get onto Microphone
good to see that dev number is not decreasing..
Nice man! Definitely going to keep an eye on this thread!
This is great news!!! it would have been sad to let this rom go wastes.. definitely looking fwd to updates. Thanks man!!!
i Have my own rom as well on the desire hd forums so that will be my main priority but i am working on this as well, so far half way to fixing wifi, it can find wireless networks, but wont connect.
Thanks for this, don't hesitate to put your progress here, maybe you'll find another dev who wants to help you in this project.
Good news, I'll keep an eye on this thread
Looking like its going to be a hard project
But I'm up for a challenge

Since you are already working on WiFi this won't matter too much, but I think getting the mic working should be first priority.

Hey I LOVE YOU. I love meizus rom soo much. It's sad that the original dev for the M9 rom stopped. BUT YOU'RE HERE! WOOT.
On a serious note, I really think Voice would be much more important than wifi. And if you've tried the previous alpha, you'd see that when you pull up the colors are changed ( negatived? ) I hope you can keep that. I think it's pretty neat. Although that's not supposed to happen. I tried the official Meizu M9 before.
I'm still trying been involved with another development thing recently, need to buy another nexus one as i gave mine to a friend to use while there phone is being fixed 4-5 weeks.
I had got wifi working partially but then it froze..
Hi guys .
I would like to know if a Miui rom is planned for the Galaxy S3 on the part of Xiaomi or by a developer on XDA ?
Thanks for your response .
I have googled around...
MIUI Scotland posted a message on twitter a few days ago, saying they were basically working on the SGS3 version of MIUI.
https://twitter.com/#!/miuiscotland
There's also a dev attempting to port MIUI based on a thread which is called "how to port MIUI to your device".... but don't think he has got very far yet...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499411&highlight=s3
Aside from that, there is absolutely no news otherwise.
rest assured it's on it's way.. just takes time unfortunately.
This is a very good news (for Miui on the GS3) and an excellent response, thanks much for this information, Kikassdave !!! :victory:
There is no problem, Kikassdave, you gave me lot of information and damage that it takes time, unfortunately...
Thank you very much for the links
I have my GS3 on pre-order with Verizon and will be working on a port soon too.
Received a test build so i don't think it will take that long

Hey guys, I am a maintainer for Validus rom and am looking to build for the optimus G At&t. If any of you guys are interesting in testing the rom for me, please let me know.
Thanks!
I installed the Feb. 19th build this morning. So far, so good.
Eight hours of runtime, 2%/hour battery use. No FCs, but there are a few things that i haven't messed with yet. This is my only phone, so I use it as such. Mostly phone calls, texting, and some light internet use. Nothing to report so far.
I like it, thanks for putting this up.
I would be happy to test.

After one full day of use, I have nothing to report. Sorry if that isn't helpful, but everything works. I haven't had a single problem.
Thanks again for this.

I would like to volunteer for testing your ROM. I'm always looking for the next new ROM to be released. How can I get a copy of the ROM file? Thanks

Once galactic stryder started to collected crowd funding to buy a new le max 2 and then also ordered it and then it now arrived because of some issues. Anybody can tell me what happened to the money of yours you donated? And why he is not developing? Just curious to know that!
Heyyo, he posted a while back that he has had stuff going on in life so it was delayed a few months for software development.
Tbh even once he starts it could be a few months before he has a properly working x2 build as he uses his own kernels with some stuff based on Darkobas (Oreo) and I haven't seen anything happening there either... So really who knows when we shall see some AOSPA x2 stuff.
Such is the way with crowdfunding anyways. We funded a device for him and it will take time for things to get done. I know I donated a bunch too but hey I am barely making progress on Oreo but I try with my limited software development skills and time.
He wrote to me that let max 2 "will be supported on our AOSPA 8 from April"
Let's wait for the guy solve his issues. Nobody forced us to donate. I am sure that he didn't run away with the LeMax2 :laugh: Any user should understand that developers are also people with jobs, family, etc. Heck, even to reply to xda Q&A takes time (thanks @ThE_MarD), so it's often to see that there's no answer from the dev to "why torch is not working" question or stuff like that.
Honestly speaking, even without him, the development of X2 is at a very good level by my standards.
I think we should also donate to infrag and all the others who worked really hard to fix the builds for this device.
Thanks to all for info
Let me undersrand it correctly. You bought new phone for some guy in hope he will develop rom, but no news from him, he ran away with new phone. Well there's a sucker born every minute.

Forgive me, but it's a sad statement.
Actually, a passionate and skilled guy who did a good job with a very similar phone, offered to work on improving support for this device. I can't event think he needed another underpriced (because of lack of official support from manufacturer, bankrupt) smartphone

He is very active kernel dev for Le pro 3, so it wasnt like, hey lets give new phone to random guy.
Hi, sorry for the delay, the phone has reached my door only yesterday, 5 months waiting - or even more - it's good that I have time now to develop and the phone, I just didn't get to XDA those last months so I get the hesitation of all the users when I was off and without the phone; time's passed and as you can see on my Github we have started moving again, wrote all my Kernel script to support the new device on both versions - one Kernel fits all, right? (my LG G2 users should remember that one) - as I'm planning to support stock M versions and the upcoming, if ever coming, N versions of EUI.
The stock Kernel code is a mess just like the one from Pro3 - what did I expect? - so I may time until Saturday to get the vanilla CAF one up and running stable. After that I'll set up my Ryzen machine with another distro, probably BBQ, to compile a more recent version of N or O.
I have just updated to the latest Chinese ROM (X821) to compare the Kernel messages and take some information to merge with my previous work, I'll open a DEVB thread as soon as I get something stable running for EUI users.
Hope that clears out any misunderstandings...
